While he's pretty solid, Jones has underwhelmed too.

He has 1 goal and 11 points in 40 games.
- sbroads24

Lots of ppl are having a rough year scoring
Especially for a defenseman, I'm not so worried about it
I'll best Jones' stats will be much better in Cbus with more quality minutes
He also performed great when he had to step in for Weber last year

Gerbe in 3,2,1...
- Wetbandit1

Hahaha

I think Weber has been pretty decent this year actually

Assuming we don't get Matthews,
Who would u hope to get in the draft?
- jdfitz77

Aside from some glaring game breaking(in a bad way) mistakes early on he's been pretty decent, but I think he's actually been playing less and against weaker competition where he's better suited, so that helps.

LA is pretty deep with this roster now...

I wouldn't mind if we signed Schenn in the offseason
Kid needs a fresh start
He & ehrhoff will pair nicely in LA

For sure
We need to continue to try & shelter him & Franson from other teams' top guys
But as a 3rd pair,
I think they've been fine

If Schenn is willing to take 1 mil on a 1 year deal I would give him a shot. He's been absolutely brutal and skates like Franson.

I'm not going to argue he's right he would have gone 3rd last year ..

I'll bet Tampa wishes they took him 3rd
- jdfitz77

I don't I still think Jonathan drouin is going to be really good but that's me

- sbroads24

I wouldn't give him a lot either
He hits & blocks shots
I don't love him or anything, but he does have some talent
Without expectations, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns into a decent defenseman

I'd rather have Kane walk out on a tab in my bar (which I do not own) than watch Hodgson play
- sbroads24

He never did this the media made it up

You know me I hate drafting defenseman high and I think chychrun is a little overrated and just like Seth Jones draft he's going to be good but not elite

I'm all about finding that combination like the Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf one for Jack

1. Austin Matthews
2.Jesse pujujarvi
3.Patrick laine
4. 1A Matthew tkachuk 1B chychrun

How big is the drop off after the top 5? Are scouts still concerned about chychruns shoulders?

- MattFreaknEllis

I don't think they did the restaurant that he dined and dashed in put up a sign during hockey game

It really doesn't matter anymore he looks like he grew out of that

- rover16

I will put Alexander Nylander in that group of top 4 so many Good wingers I could maybe see Julien Gauthier hit top 5
Other then those I don't see any elite players after but players that might be good but not what we're looking for those Jason Pominville types

The "restaurant" was in Winnipeg. The sign was at a Leafs game in Toronto. Nothing like getting your sign out in front of the entire hockey media. That alone is a huge red flag for their credibility. And the media looked and couldn't find a single instance of him walking out on his check. I still think he's an bumhole, but let's at least be pissed about something that actually happened. I'm not saying anything illegal happened with the girl, but it was at the very least immoral. He claims he did nothing wrong in the legal sense. He never gave the ol' Bill Clinton

Will just say he did it and he didn't do it there's a reason someone would put a sign up like that's a pretty random sign if you ask me.. and I really don't care if he did or didn't

I think we'll pick top10 for sure, probably top5
So we should get quite a nice prospect
Passing on Chychrun will prob be hard for Murray
Although if Kane continues to not find chemistry with Eichel, maybe he does pick a winger & try to trade Kane for a top4 LH defenseman

I don't think we trade Kane that will look really bad on Tim imo
I also don't think kane is the right fit for Jack this upcoming draft is very important for finding his line meet.. the problem is Jack's just to good for our players I mean he puts the puck right on there stick and they either hit the crossbar or post or shoot it wide. Its like all of our players are brain dead they don't know what the (frank) to do

Not with Tortorella there

Man, ROR has already taken 998 face-offs. The next closest guy is Patrice Bergeron with 948 albeit in 2 less games, so they're about even, but ROR has won 42 more than Bergeron with 581 wins.

I think the drop off starts after him

mathews
puljujarvi
tkachuk
laine
nylander
gauthier

for the wing

chychrun for the blue line

then a big drop

perfect world, sabres get a top 3 pick so they can decide between a winger and chychrun

Is it wrong for me to say he's going to be better then bergeron and getting out of Colorado was the best thing ever I'm so happy we made that trade

kane is fine for ror

but next year I think ror will be the second line center and eichel takes over and leads the top line

get 2 more wingers and we have a !A and 1B line instead of a first and second line

Agreed with everything you said we need to hug it out lol
But we're in good position we're going to be drafting a premier winger this draft I don't see us (frank)ing this up
